Hi all,

ive just entered into the world of Jaguar by buying a 1998 xj sport 3.2 v8.

Not taken delivery yet but it's due this week and I can't wait! Im sure I'll enjoy looking through the topics searching for advice etc.

the car claims to have 27,000 miles which I find hard to believe but at just over £600 I thought it might be worth a gamble. I have spoken to Jaguar but they say they can't help me until I am the legal owner. MOT mileage seems to check out ok and an RAC car passport didn't flag up any mileage discrepancies so fingers crossed!!!

Peter.

Will do.

i have run a hpi check today and the mileage seems to check out ok. All the data was supplied by manufacturers too so I'm hoping to be lucky enough with full dealer service history.

    Haha yes fair point. But that was before I tidied it up and put an MOT on it. 

    Hi

    You will only get what people are prepared to pay

    have a look on ebay and autotrader and see what similar cars go for and adjust the price if your has better spec or condition or recent work on it

    cheers

    I was only messing with you Peter. Your car certainly look tidy, but as for price I'd take a wild guess and say tripple what you paid. But as Joe said, have a snoop around and see what the market is asking.

    Autotrader

     

    Cheers

    Yeah I will have a look and see what's out there.

    failing that I could stick it on eBay and see what it goes for. I'd like to keep it I'm still undecided.

    Yes, keep it and give it your kid when he/she turns 17. It'll be really retro by then!

    Might be worth a few quid too with the low mileage!
